Turtleneck & Chain by Lonely Island
New album in stores Tuesday

Now that the burn of The Lonely Island’s Jorma Taccone’s MacGruber movie has finally subsided, it’s the perfect time for a new Lonely Island joint. The trio (Taccone, Andy Samberg, and Akiva Schaffer) launch their sophomore album Turtleneck & Chain Tuesday, which contains tracks that have already aired on Saturday Night Live (the amazing “Motherlover” featuring Justin Timberlake and “Shy Ronnie 2: Ronnie & Clyde" featuring Rihanna) as well as new songs that feature Beck, Santigold, Snoop Dogg, and famous balladeer/Dune extra Michael Bolton.

Move Like This by The Cars Read Reviews
New album in stores Tuesday

It’s been 24 years since The Cars released their last album, Door to Door. Since then, original member Benjamin Orr died of cancer and a Ric Ocasek-less The New Cars album featuring Todd Rundgren was released with little fanfare. This Tuesday sees the surviving members reuniting with new album Move Like This. The first single from the Starbucks’ Hear Music-released album is the very Cars-like “Sad Song,” a track that would fit comfortably on the band’s greatest hits.

Let the good times roll at the official website or the band’s MySpace page.

Smallville
Two-hour series finale airs Friday at 8p on The CW

It’s hard to believe that the Clark Kent-fronted and Superman-less series Smallville has been on the air for 10 seasons. That impressive run comes to an end Friday night with the two-hour series finale event episode. Long-absent Kent nemesis Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum) returns to the series, and there may be a wedding between Kent (Tom Welling) and Lois Lane (Erica Durance). The promos for the episode feature John Williams’ classic score from Superman: The Movie. Could we finally see TV’s latest Clark Kent become Superman?

Look! Up in the sky! It’s the official website!
